Because music has the power to make life better. Monday, July 21, 2014. Puss n Boots - No Fools, No Fun, Norah Jones' Side Project Has Made Her Most Fun Album Ever. I've been hooked on Norah Jones' music ever since she appeared on the World Cafe radio program. Ever since fall 2008 I've been hoping that Norah would take this band and make a record as she did with her similar male-dominated side project, The Little Willies. That day, ladies and gentleman, is here; No Fools, No Fun. No Fools, No Fun. I'm lo...

Which Chrissi mentioned was the way John Lennon demoed the song for the group. Chrissi's voice and piano have never sounded better. Chrissi was warmly welcomed by the Suzanne Vega crowd, receiving a nice reaction to every song. It was great to see Chrissi again. Here is her setlist. 3 Angel Weep for Me. Saying that the "church vibe" continues (what with ...

Does This Band Make Me Look Fat?: Alex Chilton
http://halfpearblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/alex-chilton.html
Does This Band Make Me Look Fat? 2016 - The Year that Broke Peter Holsapple. Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Alex Chilton died today. His music and production profoundly influenced me and a generation of my peers and their bandmates. I feel fortunate to have known him a little and to have worked with him live and in the studio.

Does This Band Make Me Look Fat? 2016 - The Year that Broke Peter Holsapple. Thursday, July 10, 2014. I took the leap and got my first Fender Precision Bass a few weeks ago. (This, from the guy who's not really doing music anymore, right? First, I found that I could actually 'walk' on the P-bass with almost no effort. Having tried to do that with the Jag, I had never been able to feel comfortable without using a heavy pick or my thumb ( ala. Well, maybe not- the flatwounds are likely going on soon. Also,...
